The Tuesday letters page wants to know about the best games on Netflix, as one reader wonders how Dragon Age: The Veilguard will influence Mass Effect 4. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk. The high cost of switching. There seems a good chance the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to be unveiled this week, so let’s ask the most important question. Not about the hardware or the software but the one thing that can make or break a sale: the price.
The original Switch launched at £279.99 but I think it’s obvious this will be more, thanks to inflation and increased power. The OLED Model started at £309.99, so my estimate is that the Switch 2 will be a bit more expensive, but I would imagine Nintendo tries to keep it below £350.
There’s an outside chance it could be £400 but considering the Xbox Series S is around £250 now I can’t see them making it that much more expensive. But it’s Nintendo, so it’s hard to say and if they have a major launch game – or maybe even a pack-in – then it becomes tricky. £400 plus a free copy of Mario Kart 9 sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Curious to know what the maximum is other readers would pay. I’d go up to £350 without a game but anything beyond that I’d have to have a longer think about. Improved chances. That Nintendo Switch reveal date rumour sounds about as believable as we’ve ever had, from a reliable insider, so I’m going to guess there’s a good chance it’ll finally be revealed this Thursday.
